Every man, woman, and pokemon in Passive Town was searching for the towns’ most famous resident. A 10 year old girl named Candice. The girl was known by
everyone in town, because of her very rare, and very beautiful, shiny Flareon.

“40 seconds till the new year! Where could she be?”

Every year, Candice’s Flareon would light up a whole bunch of fireworks at the same time, and the new year would start off with a beautiful bang!

With just 30 seconds left, she had still not arrived.

A boy and girl were looking near the edge of town.

“Candice! Candice are you in there?” shouted a girl into the forest.

“I hear something!” exclaimed her brother.

Both of them moved into the forest.

“Candice! We found you!” screamed the girl joyfully! Her happiness quickly faded away as she noticed the tears rolling down Candice’s cheeks.

“Candice, what’s wrong?”

“Flareon. *sob* She’s gone.”

“Well, we’ll help you find her.”

“No. I mean she’s gone! Stolen,” said Candice right before breaking down and crying uncontrollably.

From behind them, the three could hear the celebration.

“5,4,3,2,1, Happy New Year!”

“Not for me,” replied Candice in-between sobs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as word got out that the shiny Flareon was stolen, the party ended. Nobody had the heart to celebrate while their towns most famous pokemon was missing. Parents quickly put their kids to bed, and the police were swamped with people eager to help out.

Candice was questioned by police, and just hours later, fliers were passed around to every person in town. Every building had several of the fliers taped to them. By sunrise, the entire town seemed covered with the bright yellow fliers, instead of the
garbage usually left after a New Year’s party.

The police, and everyone in town, would not stop until this criminal was caught. The fliers were mailed to every home in the neighboring towns too!

Shiny Flareon missing!

Taken from a 10 year old girl. It is her best friend, and Passive Town will be very generous in giving a reward for the safe return of the pokemon, and capture of the sadistic person who is responsible.

No information is available on the appearance of this person. The only thing known, is that the thief used a shiny Absol during the attack.

Passive Town is looking to recruit as many pokemon trainers as possible to return this girls pokemon to her. I you would like to help out, please sign this flyer, and bring it to the Passive Police Station.

Please do it for this girl. All she wants is to have her pokemon back safe and sound.***************************************

If you would like to add a character, please reply, but follow these rules.

The Ultimate Rule: DO NOT GIVE YOUR CHARACTER POKEMON! I know that sounds like a weird rule, but ALL pokemon in this fic, (Except the person with the shiny Absol), will be random! I just think it will be a hell of a lot more fun that way. This way there wont
be a ton of starters and overused pokemon. (No exceptions. If you list a pokemon or beg, your character will not be added)

#1 Give the name, age, gender, ect...

#2 Physical Describtion

#3 Personality. The main thing here is personality. What is the character like? What
inspires him to help out? What are his intentions? Is he obnoxious, Heroic, Greedy,
Wimpy, ect. The personallity will be the biggest variable in determening how big of a part
your character will get, so make it good.

Another Quick rule: Dont complain. I will try to get in as many characters as possible. Just don't whine
in-between chapters if your character has not come up yet. Complaining will lower your chances.

All right, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter, and hopefully I will see some of you in the
next one!

[EDIT] Pokemon Randomization.

I have a list of all 386 pokemon. They have been separated into 20 groups of 20 pokemon each. (the last group is only 6)

I will roll two twenty sided dice, to chose random pokemon for the characters. Flareon was the first random pokemon that came up, and that is why it was used in the last chapter.

Pray that your character gets something like Metagross. If anyone gets a Luvdisk, I will laugh non-stop!

Physical description: Smallish young man with long black hair and deep, chocolate brown eyes. Given to wearing a fedora with a feather and a pair of sunglasses, cloth gauntlets, black jack boots and a long, khaki-colored trenchcoat.

Personality: A native of Saffron city, Joe is known for having a big-city "attitude." But he knows his way around the countryside, even if he looks down upon those from the rural areas of Kanto, Johto and Hoenn. Likes to be "noticed," can have be arrogant and have a temper, but is generally mild-mannered and tries to help people out (even when looking down on them).

Personality: Tyler is a relatively shy young man, but he does open up to conversation once you get to know him. He is a native of Goldenrod City of Johto. One well kept secret about Tyler though is that, due to participating in several skirmishes with Team Snagem, owns a Snag Machine that is portable. What Tyler really intends to do is to track down the Shiny Flareon with the others and Snag it away and keep it.

6 foot, 165 lbs, toned. brown hair buzzed on sides and back with a middle strip of black that runs down with thin bangs covering his eyes that are a piercing bright green.

Able to see things others don't, known to be sarcastic with a dark sense of humor. Perceived as being cold hearted or shut off to the world, actually cares deeply about a few things while not having an emotion one way or the other on everything else. Cares about friends, his future, an the one he loves.

Tall, latino boy. He is lanky and has a distinct air about him. Slight muscle tone, and jet black hair.

His dream is to have a complete set of shiny steel types. His favorites of all are Steelix, Scizor, Metagross, and Aggron. He wishes to have success in life, and to help those who truly need it. Those who cross him are left in the dust.

Looks: Tall with long, turquoise hair. Looks hot in about anything.
Personality: Adores Pokémon. She wants to catch a Celebi and a Dragonair. She's nice, but can get spazzy. She likes to travel, and it's amazing how fast she is. She knows a lot of legends, and loves to tell little kids about them. Her favorite is the Legend of Ho-Oh. A pretty good trainer, but she still has a lot of learning to do (Well, everyone does...)
She comes from Ecruteak City.

He is a fisherman trainer from the games,likes to fish. Kind of short, light brown hair, blue eyes, wears the fisherman outfit and hat.

he is the kind of person that likes to follow a leader, likes to help that leader and be part of a team. will do whatever task is given to him. he really enjoys shinies, will train for them as soon as possible, and treasures all his shinies as much as his normal pokemon.

Brave's usually the type of guy that's calm and collective type, he'll get along with anyone especially funny and hyper type of people,as long as they're cool and doesn't make the dumbest decisions. He's born in Fushia City and moved to Viridian City, where he heard his family's gym were there for generations...sad part is he doesn't even have a pokemon, and he has to ask someone to catch it for him (wink wink ) he'll travel with the same person that captured his first pokemon only to catch more and raise them strong to run the gym

Physical Describtion:strong,musclar,light tan skin,and trained with his pokemon ever since he was old anoff(sp?) to have one.kind gentle face.

Personality:He came to Passive Town to see the Fireworks ,but when he heard about Flareon being stolen he felt great disgust to who ever could have stolen Candices' Flareon;he wants to do every thing withen his power to help her get Flareon back even if that means he gets hurt in the process.He is shy,but very brave,and caring.

She's a traditional girl, modernitys (correct spelling please) enrage her, including computers, she thinks of them as too conventional items. She only has 6 Pokemon, to avoid administating them with PCs.

She likes to tease people when they ask for her name, after April, the word Fool's is heard, and a lot of people take that joke seriously.

She's hunting for the Alternate color (she refuses to use the term "shiny") Flareon because she's always there for everyone, even if they don't know her, (except, should you ask her for PC trouble shooting...) and she wants to start with the right foot in every friendship, even with a complete stranger. (And because the story touched her. )

Gigadrained: I've pushed "A Chaotic Love" back again.
I just don't know if I will have time to write the entire thing before I move, and I don't want to leave a big pause between chapters, because I will be busy the few weeks after the move.

Also, can you add a description of your character?

Kathkat: I picture Joe looking like a cheap pimp. but that's good, should be interesting. You don't need to add anything else. It looks like he will have a part in every chapter.

Physical Description: He is very tall, about 6'. He has black hair and his eyes are just as black as his hair. His eyebrows are somewhat brown which makes people wonder all the time so he gets mad when they ask about it. He is very slim but built as he works out regularly but is more into Pokemon then building up muscles. He has 6 pack abbs so that definitely brings chicks over to him.

Personality: Very intelligent, very friendly, loyal, and is a babe magnet. Not only is he a babe magnet but he is also a man of lust. He tries to do all the right things and never gives up. Whenever he sees an opportunity to fix something and/or has to do something in order for better or good, he'll do it.

History: Ron has just come from New Bark Town to be a trainer here. He is looking forward to starting out in a new region but he saw the flier and decided to put his training on hold. When he saw Candice, signing up to help look for Flareon was a shoe in.

Brown hair, she's a little above average in height, she doesn't dress in jeans, or modern T-shirts, she uses a long skirt, patterned with flowers, and a long-sleeved bluse, blue, so floaty, her feminine curves often go un-noticed.

Her eyes are greyish blue, and aren't very expressive, she gets frustrated when one can't figure out her mood, that *really* goes into detail with her mouth. (No bad words, though.)

Thanks everyone. I'm getting started right away. The first part might be up tomorrow.

It's still not to late to add characters, for anyone who hasn't yet.

Looks like almost every single one of you will be included somehow, and many will be in every chapter.

Brave, is possibly the only exception. I just don't see any reason why your character should care about what has happened. How could he help out when he doesnt even have a pokemon? Seems like a good character, just maybe not right for this fic. You can change it a little bit if you still want to be involved. I want everyone to have there characters in.

*****************************************

I gave everyone random pokemon!

I gave each character 2 or 3 pokemon. If everyone had 6, this fic will go on till the end of time.

I also made each pokemon have a 1 in 20 chance of being shiny. Some of you got lucky!

Most of you will look at your pokemon and be like, "WTF?" But trust me, it was all random. I don't know what most of your favorites are, but I know one person here did end up with one of their favorite pokemon. (based on an old icon I saw)

One of you just got TERRIBLY unlucky with the pokemon.

Well I bet you're all dying to know what pokemon your charactes got, but I love torturing people, so it will be a secret until they are seen in the fic.

There's so many characters that not all pokemon will be seen in the next chapter, so the wait may be a while. I can't wait to reveal the person who got the worst pokemon though, so that should be in the next chapter.

Always looking to help someone and is very adventurous. Loyal to all of his friends and family. Loves pokemon and sees them as friends not tools. Uses strategy while battling.Very Mature for his age and is great at making friends. A lot of girls find him attractive and caring.

Background:

Left his home in Verdanturf Town when he was 10 with his first pokemon. Wasn't really into the gym battling, just left to go find himself. He travels all around the world in search for new friends and adventures. Came to Passive town for the festival and was very upset about Candice's Flareon. He is determined to help.

I'm not very creative at these things, but I'll give it a shot nonetheless. Wouldn't mind more females, huh? Hmmm....
